Crocodile's Tears

(4) K-3 As they try to discover why Crocodile is crying, Rhino and Tickbird seek out and question various African animals. Is Crocodile unhappy, they wonder, because the animals and their habitats are at risk of extinction? The illustrations, with their stylized wildlife and scenery, include some eye-catching compositions. Unfortunately, while Beard's intentions are worthy, the story is contrived. Facts about the animals are appended.
